Blues Beatles started during the breaks of the rehearsals of Today – an original band that Marcos Viana, Flavio Naves, Lancaster Ferreira, Bruno Falcão and Fred Barley started in 2010. Marcos, the singer, would invariably pick up his acoustic guitar and start playing Beatles songs. The other members of the band were amazed at how natural the songs sounded, as if he had written them himself. Being blues players the rest of the band started adding their blues twist to these “break songs”. One day Lancaster said: “why don’t we mix these two things we love to play? We could call this Blues Beatles!”Everyone loved the idea and together they started the Blues Beatles in 2013.

Arrive Without Traveling is a Beatles bootleg CD released in 1992. This pressing is remastered by Remasters Workshop in 2011. The songs come from different souirces, some are early demos and remixes, a few are BBC sessions, others are from the multi-tracks while a few are "4-track playbacks" taken from video sources. Sound quality ranges from good to excellent.

John Curtin's War: The coming of war in the Pacific, and reinventing Australia by John EdwardsEnglish | November 13th, 2017 | ASIN: B0759L1LLD, ISBN: 0670073474 | 560 pages | EPUB | 9.79 MB

This tremendous counter-point to John Howard's The Menzies Era is volume one of a major new biography of arguably our greatest (and one of our most underrated) Prime Ministers, who shaped modern Australia. Curtin was Menzies' great rival, taking over from him as Prime Minister at the start of the war with arguably a greater political legacy. Curtin - who died in office - is one of our more intriguing Prime Ministers. A slightly timid socialist boozer with a wall-eye - from WA to boot - he was the utter opposite of Menzies. Yet this quiet man made our nation into modern Australia.
